Thanks. I think it turned out well too. We really, really, *really* appreciate your suggestions and feedback. We need more people to use Sage and give feedback or write documentation or write code; whatever they are comfortable with or want to learn. We're also very interested in what features Sage needs to be more useful in the classroom and for students. One of the huge advantages we have being open-source is that anyone and everyone can contribute in whatever way they can. In fact, that is needed for the project to survive and flourish. So thank *you* too! > As a final comment, I'll note that the following behavior with objects > which automatically display is interesting: > > sage: C=circle((0,0),1);P=plot(sin,0,1) > sage: [C,P] > [, ] > > and then a display of circle above a plot of sin (in the notebook) or > two separate pictures (in the command line).

I think it is just printing out the list for you to see and the "print" function for a graphics object displays the object, so you see each object "printed" out. It would be nice if the text display indicated this, instead of "[, ]". Maybe something like "[<Graphic object>, <Graphic object>]", since the objects actually are there. It misleadingly looks like you have an empty list. This bug (displaying an apparently empty list, but really there are graphic objects in it) is trac #1912. It should be a very easy fix for someone that knows how graphic objects are printed (and someone who remembers the difference between repr and string or something like that :). > > Finally, sorry for the typo earlier!
